A CONCERT entitled "A Night in Crediton!", and featuring Devon Youth Jazz Orchestra, will be held at Crediton Congregational Church tomorrow, Saturday, March 3.

It will begin at 7.30pm and is being organised by Francisca van Holtoon in aid of the charity Second Sight.

Second Sight aims to eradicate reversible blindness in Bihar, the poorest state in India.

In Bihar many thousands of people have become blind with cataract. Second Sight aims to clear this backlog of blindness by the end of 2020, so that its partner hospitals in Bihar can focus on the prevention (rather than the treatment) of blindness.

In the UK many people get cataract at some point in their life, but they have it removed long before they go blind. For £20 a blind patient in Bihar can be collected from home and dropped back home the next day with sight.

Second Sight is a UK-based zero-overheads charity. It has been recently adopted among causes supported by Crediton Congregational Church.

The concert is supported by the Music Makers’, which provides performance opportunities for musicians in Crediton.

Admission will be £10 (or £5 for 18s and younger).
